How to make a Ribbonwork Ladies Slipper Orchid / Flower Comb Ribbon Ruch...


Many thanks to everyone who tuned in to today's show over in The Craft Store! 

Here's a video of the flower that I made as one of the demo's during the show - I have to say I do love how the patterns can be mixed up to create something different.

I would suggest that if you do have any of the Flower Combs, to go ahead and work each one for a sampler. Start out with the same length of ribbon - that way, you can see how much it compresses, but also how each pattern reacts. 

A materials list for this flower - 

25mm wide yellow ribbon
25mm wide green ribbon
thread, needle, scissors
acrylic paint (used here: IndigoBlu translucent paint colour - "purple rain")
